Gamera's Double Features

Share.

Two releases, four battles.

By David McCutcheon

Our favorite nuclear turtle is coming back down to Earth for another four adventures.

Shout! Factory's latest line-up for September has included some tidbits on the next installments of their popular Gamera revival, revolving this time around two separate Double Feature DVDs for a total of four new Gamera films to DVD. If you love ancient folklore-turned-fact due to humanity's obsession with nuclear warfare, you're going to love this gigantic tortoise.

On September 21, 2010, Shout! Factory will be unleashing the two newest DVDs in the franchise, Gamera vs Gyaos / Gamera vs. Viras and Gamera vs. Guiron / Gamera vs. Jiger, both as Double Feature releases under the Special Edition label. Previously, the only way to obtain the Gamera franchise on DVD was through extremely pricey imports on the likes on eBay and Amazon's Marketplace, so collectors are surely to welcome these new additions at the MSRP of $19.93 per release.

No word yet as to whether or not the two DVDs will contain any special features for any of the four films, nor has box art been finalized at this time. As always, we're on the up-and-up with all things Gamera, so stay tuned and we'll keep you posted.
